CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

This non-provisional application claims priority under 35 U.S.C. §119(a) on Patent Application No(s). 102205686 filed in Taiwan, R.O.C. on Mar. 27, 2013, the entire contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference.

TECHNICAL FIELD

The disclosure relates to a storage box for bras, more particularly to a storage box with multiple accommodating spaces and at least one separator so that there is no interference between the bras on the opposite sides of the separator.

BACKGROUND

Nowadays the storage of women's underwear is troublesome. It requires people to flatten bras and stack them up in a drawer. Hence, people cannot recognize the bra at the bottom when they are stacked up and it is difficult for people to remove the bra at the bottom without touching or moving other bras. In addition, the bra at the bottom is likely to deform because of the squeeze. Another way to store the bras is to put them one by one in the drawer. This way, each of the bras can be recognized but the bras will be messed up when users remove or replace certain bras. Moreover, the drawer moving back and forth may also mess the bras.

Additionally, sometimes bras and underpants are put in the same drawer. Thus, the bras and underpants not only cannot be fixed to one place, but also are likely to be messier.

A storage box made by textile fabrics and plastic sheeting is also used. There are multiple accommodation spaces in this storage box for accommodating bras. The bras are placed in the accommodation space vertically. Thereby, the adjacent accommodation spaces may interfere with each other when the bras are taken out or put back in, which is inconvenient.

Furthermore, another storage box which is integrally formed includes multiple accommodation spaces of different shapes and sizes so that chopsticks, spoons, knives and forks can be stored therein. Nonetheless, the height of each separator between each accommodation space in the storage box is less than 37 millimeters and the length and width of each accommodation space is too short. Besides, the height of the storage cover is less than 45 millimeters. As a result, it is not suitable for accommodating women's underwear.

In short, all of the storage methods mentioned above are not convenient and there is still room for improvement.

SUMMARY

A storage box comprises a plurality of first accommodation spaces and at least one separator. The accommodation spaces are configured for accommodating at least one bra. The at least one bra comprises a connecting member, two back straps and two shoulder straps all connected together. The connecting member comprises two breast carrying portions and two elastic support members. The elastic support members are disposed on the lower edges of the two breast carrying portions respectively. The thickness of the at least one bra is the vertical distance from the top of the two breast carrying portions to the plane on which the two elastic support members are located. A shoulder strap height between the bottom of the at least one bra to the two shoulder straps is defined. A support height between the bottom of the connecting member to the top of the elastic support member is defined. A support width between the farthest two ends of the two elastic support members is defined. The two sides of each breast carrying portion have a protruding surface and a recessed surface respectively. The two protruding surfaces respectively correspond to the two recessed surfaces, and the at least one separator is located between each first accommodation space. Each first accommodation space has a first width, the first width is not less than a folding length which is the length of the two back straps and the two shoulder straps folded in the connecting member behind the corresponding recessed surface of the breast carrying portion. The folding length is greater than the support width of the at least one bra. The at least one separator has a separation height so that there is no interference between the at least one bra in the two first accommodation spaces on the opposite two sides of the at least one separator.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

In the following detailed description, for purposes of explanation, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the disclosed embodiments. It will be apparent, however, that one or more embodiments may be practiced without these specific details. In other instances, well-known structures and devices are schematically shown in order to simplify the drawing.

FIG. 1A is a perspective view of a storage box according to a first embodiment of the disclosure; FIG. 1B is a schematic view of a bra; FIG. 1C is a top view of the storage box of FIG. 1A with the bra inside; FIG. 1D is a side view of FIG. 1C; FIG. 1E is another side view of FIG. 1C; FIG. 1F is still another side view of FIG. 1C; FIG. 1G is a side view of the storage box with the bra stored inside according to another embodiment of the disclosure; FIG. 1H is a perspective view of the storage box of FIG. 1A assembled in a frame; FIG. 1I is an exploded view of FIG. 1H. As seen in FIG. 1A to FIG. 1I, a storage box 1 comprises a plurality of first accommodation spaces 100 and at least one separator 101. The accommodation spaces 100 are configured for accommodating at least one bra 50. The at least one bra 50 comprises a connecting member 53, two back straps 55 and two shoulder straps 56 all connected together. The connecting member 53 comprises two breast carrying portions 51 and two elastic support members 54. The elastic support members 54 are disposed on the lower edges of the two breast carrying portions 51 respectively. The thickness of the at least one bra 50 is the vertical distance from the top of the two breast carrying portions 51 to the plane on which the two elastic support members 54 are located. A shoulder strap height H56 between the bottom of the at least one bra 50 to the two shoulder straps 56 is defined. A support height H54 from the bottom of the connecting member 53 to the top of the elastic support member 54 is defined. A support width L54 between the farthest two ends of the two elastic support members 54 is defined. The two sides of each breast carrying portion 51 have a protruding surface 51 a and a recessed surface 51 b respectively. The two protruding surfaces 51 a respectively correspond to the two recessed surfaces 51 b, and the at least one separator 101 is located between each first accommodation space 100.

Each first accommodation space 100 has a first width W1. The first width W1 is not less than a folding length which is the length of the two back straps 55 and the two shoulder straps 56 folded in the connecting member 53 behind the corresponding recessed surface 51 b of the breast carrying portion 51. The folding length is greater than the support width L54 of the at least one bra 50. The at least one separator 101 has a separation height H1 so that there is no interference between the at least one bra 50 in the two first accommodation spaces 100 on the opposite two sides of the at least one separator 101.

In some embodiments, the separation height H1 of the at least one separator 101 is not less than 45% of the support height H54 of the elastic support member 54. In other embodiments, the separation height H1 may be increased to 60% of the support height of the elastic support member 54. In other embodiments, the separation height H1 of the separator 101 may be equal to

$\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}$

of the support height H54 of the elastic support member (for example, in a range from 56 millimeters to 78 millimeters). The separation height H1, however, may also be greater than

$\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}$

of the support height H54 of the elastic support member.

The storage box 1 is integrally formed and the bra 50 is stored in the first accommodation space 100 of the storage box 1. As seen in FIG. 1A and FIG. 1D, the first bra 50 a is placed in a first position 31 at the bottom of one of the first accommodation spaces 100 at a display angle of 45 degrees. The elastic support member 54, the back straps 55 and the shoulder straps 56 abut on the first lateral portion 1011 of the separator 101. Specifically, the first locating member (namely the arc 1023) makes one side of the first bra 50 a abut on and be located on the first position 31. A first horizontal distance is defined between the first position 31 and the top of the separator 101. A second horizontal distance is defined between the first position 31 and the top of another separator 101. The sum of the first horizontal distance and the second horizontal distance is equal to a storage length (from the front to the back) of the first accommodation space 100. Thereby, the two ends of the first bra 50 a are held to be arranged in the first accommodation space 100 at a display angle of 45 degrees. Nevertheless, the display angle of the first bra 50 a does not limit the disclosure. That is, provided that the storage length of the first accommodation space 100 is constant, the separation height H1 of the separator 101 may be lowered to 45% of the support height H54 to make the first bra 50 a is displayed in the accommodation space 100 at a display angle less than 45 degrees (as shown in FIG. 1E). In contrast, the separation height H1 of the separator 101 may be increased to 60% of the support height H54 and the storage length of the first accommodation space 100 is gradually reduced to make the first bra 50 a be displayed at the angle about 50 degrees. This way, the shortest storage length of the first accommodation space 100 can be found and the maximum number of the first accommodation spaces 100 can be disposed in the storage box 1 (as shown in FIG. 1F). For example, the support height of the bra 50 a is 110 millimeters and the optimized separation height is 66 millimeters.

Users may further increase the separation height H1 to

$\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}$

of the support height H54 and expand the storage length of the first accommodation space 100 to make the first bra 50 a be disposed in the first accommodation space 100 vertically (as shown in FIG. 1G). Thereby, the first bra 50 a is disposed between the separators 101 so it is placed straight. As a result, the arrangement of the first bra 50 a is tidy but it should be noted that the storage length of the first accommodation space, in this case, is not minimized.

In this embodiment, the part of the two lateral portions of the first accommodation spaces 100 which correspond to the touch area of the bottom is an arc. The bottom of the first bra 50 a on the outermost area is disposed on the arc 1023. This way, dust is less likely to stack up on the arc 1023 so it is more convenient for the users to clean the storage box 1.

In this embodiment, the storage length (from the front to the back) of the top of the first accommodation spaces is greater than the storage length (from the front to the back) of the bottom of the first accommodation spaces, in order to facilitate the storage of the first bra 50 a.

Additionally, the height of the storage box 1 is not less than the height H1 of the separator 101 of each first accommodation space 100. The height of the storage box 1 may be equal to the support height H54 (for instance, in a range form 79 millimeters to 110 millimeters), but the disclosure is not limited thereto. In one embodiment, the height of the storage box 1 may be greater than the shoulder strap height H56 (e.g. in a range from 130 millimeters to 175 millimeters). The height of the storage box 1, however, does not limit the disclosure.

The storage box 1 may further comprise a plurality of second accommodation spaces 400 for facilitating the storage process. The users may store women's underpants in them, for example. Moreover, a carrying member may be disposed on the storage box 1. In this embodiment, the carrying member is a frame 220. The opposite two sides of the storage box 1 are disposed on the corresponding two frame members of the frame 220. In addition, the opposite sides of the frame 220 are disposed on two withdraw rails of two sliding-rail members 225 for forming a drawer configured for sliding. In other embodiment, however, the carrying member may be a drawer or a sliding rail.

FIG. 2A is a perspective view of a storage box according to a second embodiment of the disclosure; FIG. 2B is a side view of the storage box of FIG. 2A with the bra stored inside; FIG. 2C is another side view of the storage box of FIG. 2A with the bra stored inside; FIG. 2D is another side view of the storage box of FIG. 2A with the bra stored inside; FIG. 2E is a side view of the storage box of another embodiment with the bra stored inside; FIG. 2F is a perspective view of the storage box of FIG. 2A assembled in a frame; FIG. 2G is an exploded view of FIG. 2F. As seen in FIG. 1B, FIG. 1C and FIG. 2A to FIG. 2G, the storage box 2 comprises a plurality of accommodation spaces 200 and at least one separator 201. The first accommodation spaces 200 are for accommodating at least one bra 50. The separator 20 a is located between each first accommodation space 200. Each first accommodation space 200 has a first width W2.

The first width W2 is not less than a folding length which is the length of the two back straps 55 and the two shoulder straps 56 folded in the connecting member 53 behind the corresponding recessed surface 51 b of the breast carrying portion 51. The folding length is greater than the support width L54 of the at least one bra 50. The at least one separator 201 has a separation height H2 so that there is no interference between the at least one bra 50 in the two first accommodation spaces 200 on the opposite two sides of the at least one separator 101. According to different specification of bras, the first width is from 260 millimeters to 320 millimeters.

In some embodiments, the separation height H2 of the at least one separator 201 is not less than 45% of the support height H54 of the elastic support member 54. In other embodiments, the separation height H2 may be increased to 60% of the support height of the elastic support member 54. In other embodiments, the separation height H2 of the separator 201 may be equal to

$\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}$

of the support height H54 of the elastic support member (for example, in a range from 56 millimeters to 78 millimeters). The separation height H2, however, may also be greater than

$\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}$

of the support height H54 of the elastic support member.

The storage box 2 is integrally formed and the bra 50 including a first bra 50 a and the second bra 50 b is stored in the first accommodation space 200 of the storage box 2. As seen in FIG. 2B, the first bra 50 a is placed in a first position 31 at the bottom of one of the first accommodation spaces 200 at a display angle of 45 degrees while the second bra 50 b is placed in a second position 32 at the bottom of the first accommodation spaces 200 at a display angle of 45 degrees. The elastic support member 54, the back straps 55 and the shoulder straps 56 of the first bra 50 a abut on the first lateral portion 2011 of the separator 201. Specifically, the first locating member (namely the second bra 50 b) makes one side of the first bra 50 a abut on and be located on the first position 31 while the second locating member (namely the arc 2023) makes one side of the second bra 50 b abut on and be located on the second position 32.

A first horizontal distance is defined between the first position 31 and the top of the separator 201. A second horizontal distance is defined between the second position 32 and the top of a surrounding block 20 of the storage box 2. The sum of the first horizontal distance, the distance from the first position 31 to the second position 32 and the second horizontal distance is equal to a storage length (from the front to the back) of the first accommodation space 200. Thereby, the two ends of the first bra 50 a are held to be arranged in the first accommodation space 200 at a display angle of 45 degrees while the two ends of the second bra 50 b are held to be arranged in the first accommodation space 200 at a display angle. Nevertheless, the display angle of the first bra 50 a and the second bra 50 b does not limit the disclosure. That is, provided that the storage length of the first accommodation space 200 is constant, the separation height H2 of the separator 201 may be lowered to 45% of the support height H54 to make the first bra 50 a and the second bra 50 b be displayed in the accommodation space 200 at a display angle less than 45 degrees (as shown in FIG. 2C). In contrast, the separation height H2 of the separator 201 may be increased to 60% of the support height H54 and the storage length of the first accommodation space 200 is gradually reduced to make the first bra 50 a and the second bra 50 b be displayed at the angle about 50 degrees. This way, the shortest storage length of the first accommodation space 200 can be found and the maximum number of the first accommodation spaces 200 can be disposed in the storage box 2 (as shown in FIG. 2D). For example, the support height of the bra 50 a is 110 millimeters and the optimized separation height is 66 millimeters.

Users may further increase the separation height H2 to

$\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}$

of the support height H54 and expand the storage length of the first accommodation space 200 to make the first bra 50 a and the second bra 50 b be disposed in the first accommodation space 200 vertically (as shown in FIG. 2E). Thereby, the first bra 50 a and the second bra 50 b are disposed between the separators 201 so they are placed straight. As a result, the arrangement of the first bra 50 a and the second bra 50 b are tidy but it should be noted that the storage length of the first accommodation space, in this case, is not minimized.

In this embodiment, the part of the two lateral portions of the first accommodation spaces 200 which correspond to the touch area of the bottom is an arc. The bottom of the second bra 50 b on the outermost area is disposed on the arc 2023. This way, dust is less likely to stack up on the arc 2023 so it is more convenient for the users to clean the storage box 2.

In this embodiment, the storage length (from the front to the back) of the top of the first accommodation spaces 200 is greater than the storage length (from the front to the back) of the bottom of the first accommodation spaces 200, in order to facilitate the storage of the first bra 50 a and the second bra 50 b.

Additionally, the height of the storage box 2 is not less than the height H2 of the separator 201 of each first accommodation space 200. The height of the storage box 2 may be equal to the support height H54 (for instance, in a range form 79 millimeters to 110 millimeters), but the disclosure is not limited thereto. In one embodiment, the height of the storage box 2 may be greater than the shoulder strap height H56 (e.g. in a range from 130 millimeters to 175 millimeters). The height of the storage box 2, however, does not limit the disclosure.

The storage box 2 may further comprise a plurality of second accommodation spaces 400 for facilitating the storage process. The users may store women's underpants in them, for example. Moreover, a carrying member may be disposed on the storage box 2. In this embodiment, the carrying member is a frame 230. The opposite two sides of the storage box 2 are disposed on the corresponding two frame members of the frame 230. In addition, the opposite sides of the frame 230 are disposed on two withdraw rails of two sliding-rail members 235 for forming a drawer configured for sliding. In other embodiment, however, the carrying member may be a drawer or a sliding rail.

FIG. 3A is a perspective view of a storage box according to a third embodiment of the disclosure; FIG. 3B is a top view of the storage box of FIG. 3A with the bra stored inside; FIG. 3C is a side view of the storage box of FIG. 3A with the bra stored inside. As seen in FIG. 1B and FIG. 3A to FIG. 3B, this embodiment is similar to the embodiment of FIG. 2A to FIG. 2F, but the separator 251 of the first accommodation space 250 of this embodiment comprises a protruding limit portion 2513 and two recessed grooves 2514. The recessed grooves are on the two sides of the protruding limit portion and are located between a first vertical side frame 70 and a second vertical side frame 80, of the storage box 3. The first bra 50 a and the second bra 50 b are placed in one of the first accommodation spaces 250, for example. The farthest two ends of the elastic support member 54 correspond to the recessed groove 2514. The recessed surface 51 b of the first bra 50 a corresponds to the protruding limit portion 2513 to lower the display heights of the first bra 50 a and the second bra 50 b. The protruding limit portion 2513 is for separating things to facilitate the users in terms of arrangement and storage. Nonetheless, the height of the recessed rove 2514 is not limited thereto. The users may adjust it in a range between the top and the bottom of the protruding limit portion 2513 for adjusting the display heights of the first bra 50 a and the second bra 50 b. In this embodiment, the second bra 50 b may be stacked on the first bra 50 a for reducing the size thereof.

FIG. 4A is a perspective view of a storage box according to a fourth embodiment of the disclosure; FIG. 4B is a side view of the storage box of FIG. 4A with the bra stored inside; FIG. 4C is another side view of the storage box of FIG. 4A with the bra stored inside; FIG. 4D is a side view of the storage box of another embodiment with the bra stored inside; FIG. 4E is another side view of the storage box of FIG. 4D. As seen in FIG. 1B and FIG. 4A to FIG. 4E, the storage box 4 comprises a plurality of first accommodation spaces 300 and at least one separator 301. The accommodation spaces 300 are configured for accommodating at least one bra 50. The separator 301 is located between each accommodation space 300. Each first accommodation space 300 has a first width W3. The first width W3 is not less than a folding length which is the length of the two back straps 55 and the two shoulder straps 56 folded in the connecting member 53 behind the corresponding recessed surface 51 b of the breast carrying portion 51. The folding length is greater than the support width L54 of the at least one bra 50. The at least one separator 301 has a separation height H4 so that the bra 50 in the first accommodation space 300 is arranged at a display angle. This way, there is no interference between the at least one bra 50 in the two first accommodation spaces 300 on the opposite two sides of the at least one separator 301.

In some embodiments, the separation height H4 of the at least one separator 301 is not less than 45% of the support height H54 of the elastic support member 54. In other embodiments, the separation height H4 may be increased to 60% of the support height of the elastic support member 54. In other embodiments, the separation height H4 of the separator 301 may be equal to

$\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}$

of the support height H54 of the elastic support member 54 (for example, in a range from 56 millimeters to 78 millimeters). The separation height H4, however, may also be greater than

$\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}$

of the support height H54 of the elastic support member 54.

The storage box 4 is integrally formed and the bra 50 is stored in the first accommodation space 300 of the storage box 4. The first bra 50 a, the second bra 50 b and the third bra 50 c are placed in the first accommodation space 300. As seen in FIG. 4B, the first bra 50 a is placed in a first position 31 at the bottom of one of the first accommodation spaces 300 at a display angle of 45 degrees. The second bra 50 b is placed in a second position 32 at the bottom of one of the first accommodation spaces 300 at a display angle of 45 degrees. The third bra 50 c is placed in a third position 33 at the bottom of one of the first accommodation spaces 300 at a display angle of 45 degrees. The elastic support member 54, the back straps 55 and the shoulder straps 56 abut on the first lateral portion 3011 of the separator 301. Specifically, the first locating member (namely the second bra 50 b) makes one side of the first bra 50 a abut on and be located on the first position 31. The second locating member (namely the third bra 50 c) makes one side of the second bra 50 b abut on and be located on the second position 32. The third locating member (namely the arc 3023) makes one side of the third bra 50 c abut on and be located on the third position 33.

A first horizontal distance is defined between the first position 31 and the top of the separator 301. A second horizontal distance is defined between the third position 33 and the top of a surrounding block 20 of the storage box 4. The sum of the first horizontal distance, the distance from the first position 31 to the second position 32, the distance from the second position 32 to the third position 33 and the second horizontal distance is equal to a storage length of the first accommodation space 300. Thereby, the two ends of the first bra 50 a are held to be arranged in the first accommodation space 300 at a display angle of 45 degrees while the two ends of the second bra 50 b are held to be arranged in the first accommodation space 300 at a display angle of 45 degrees. Nevertheless, the display angle of the first bra 50 a, the second bra 50 b and the third bra 50 c does not limit the disclosure. That is, provided that the storage length of the first accommodation space 300 is constant, the separation height H4 of the separator 301 may be lowered to 45% of the support height H54 to make the first bra 50 a, the second bra 50 b and the third bra 50 c is displayed in the accommodation space 300 at a display angle less than 45 degrees (as shown in FIG. 4C). In contrast, the separation height H4 of the separator 301 may be increased to 60% of the support height H54 and the storage length of the first accommodation space 300 is gradually reduced to make the first bra 50 a, the second bra 50 b and the third bra 50 c be displayed at the angle about 50 degrees. This way, the shortest storage length of the first accommodation space 300 can be found and the maximum number of the first accommodation spaces 300 can be disposed in the storage box 1 (as shown in FIG. 4D). For example, the support height of the bra 50 a is 110 millimeters and the optimized separation height is 66 millimeters.

Users may further increase the separation height H4 to

$\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}$

of the support height H54 and expand the storage length of the first accommodation space 300 to make the first bra 50 a, the second bra 50 b and the third bra 50 c be disposed in the first accommodation space 300 vertically (as shown in FIG. 4E). Thereby, the first bra 50 a, the second bra 50 b and the third bra 50 c are disposed in a surrounding block 20 of the storage box 4 so that they are placed straight. As a result, the arrangement of the first bra 50 a, the second bra 50 b and the third bra 50 c are tidy but it should be noted that the storage length of the first accommodation space, in this case, is not minimized.

In this embodiment, the part of the two lateral portions of the first accommodation spaces 300 which correspond to the touch area of the bottom is an arc 3023. The bottom of the third bra 50 c on the outermost area is disposed on the arc 3023. This way, dust is less likely to stack up on the arc 3023 so it is more convenient for the users to clean the storage box 4.

In this embodiment, the storage length (from the front to the back) of the top of the first accommodation spaces 300 is greater than the storage length (from the front to the back) of the bottom of the first accommodation spaces 300, in order to facilitate the storage of the first bra 50 a, the second bra 50 b and the third bra 50 c.

Additionally, the height of the storage box 4 is not less than the height H4 of the separator 301 of each first accommodation space 300. The height of the storage box 4 may be equal to the support height H54 (for instance, in a range form 79 millimeters to 110 millimeters), but the disclosure is not limited thereto. In one embodiment, the height of the storage box 4 may be greater than the shoulder strap height H56 (e.g. in a range from 130 millimeters to 175 millimeters). The height of the storage box 4, however, does not limit the disclosure.

The storage box 4 may further comprise a plurality of second accommodation spaces 400 for facilitating the storage process. The users may store women's underpants in them, for example.

Furthermore, the storage length of the first accommodation space is not limited to the embodiments mentioned above. It could be long enough to accommodate more than three bras.

Similar to FIG. 3A, in one embodiment (not shown in the figures), the separator of the first accommodation space of this embodiment comprises a protruding limit portion and two recessed grooves. The recessed grooves are on the two sides of the protruding limit portion and are located between a first vertical side frame and a second vertical side frame, of the storage box. The three first bras are placed in one of the first accommodation spaces, for example. The farthest two ends of the elastic support member correspond to the recessed groove. The recessed surface of the first bra corresponds to the protruding limit portion to lower the display heights of the three first bras. The protruding limit portion is for separating things to facilitate the users in terms of arrangement and storage. Nonetheless, the height of the recessed rove is not limited thereto. The users may adjust it in a range between the top and the bottom of the protruding limit portion for adjusting the display heights of the three first bras. In this embodiment, the three first bras may be stacked up for reducing the size thereof.

FIG. 5A is a perspective view of a storage box according to a fifth embodiment of the disclosure; FIG. 5B is a top view of FIG. 5A; FIG. 5C is a side view of the storage box of FIG. 5A with the bra stored inside; FIG. 5D is another side view of the storage box of FIG. 5A with the bra stored inside; FIG. 5E is another side view of the storage box of FIG. 5A with the bra stored inside; FIG. 5F is a side view of the storage box of another embodiment with the bra stored inside; FIG. 5G is another side view of the storage box of FIG. 5F. As seen in FIG. 1B and FIG. 5A to FIG. 5F, the storage box 5 of this embodiment is a drawer made of wood and comprises a plurality of first accommodation spaces 210 and at least one separator 211. The first accommodation spaces are used for accommodating at least one bra 50. The separator 211 is located between each first accommodation space 210. In some embodiments, the separation height H5 of the at least one separator 201 is not less than 45% of the support height H54 of the elastic support member 54. In other embodiments, the separation height H5 may be increased to 60% of the support height of the elastic support member 54. In other embodiments, the separation height H5 of the separator 201 may be equal to

$\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}$

of the support height H54 of the elastic support member 54 (for example, in a range from 56 millimeters to 78 millimeters). The separation height H5, however, may also be greater than

$\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}$

of the support height H54 of the elastic support member 54.

The storage box 5 is integrally formed and the bra 50 is stored in the first accommodation space 210 of the storage box 5. In this embodiment, a first bra 50 a and a second bra 50 b are placed in the first accommodation space 210.

As seen in FIG. 5D, the first bra 50 a is placed in a first position 31 at the bottom of one of the first accommodation spaces 210 at a display angle of 45 degrees. The second bra 50 b is placed in a second position 32 at the bottom of one of the first accommodation spaces 210 at a display angle of 45 degrees. The elastic support member 54, the back straps 55 and the shoulder straps 56 abut on the first lateral portion 2111 of the separator 211. Specifically, the first locating member (namely the second bra 50 b) makes one side of the first bra 50 a abut on and be located on the first position 31. The second locating member (namely the surrounding block) makes one side of the second bra 50 b abut on and be located on the second position 32

A first horizontal distance is defined between the first position 31 and the top of the separator 211. A second horizontal distance is defined between the second position 32 and the top of a surrounding block 20 of the storage box 5. The sum of the first horizontal distance, the distance from the first position 31 to the second position 32 and the second horizontal distance is equal to a storage length of the first accommodation space 210. Thereby, the two ends of the first bra 50 a are held to be arranged in the first accommodation space 210 at a display angle of 45 degrees while the two ends of the second bra 50 b are held to be arranged in the first accommodation space 210 at a display angle of 45 degrees. Nevertheless, the display angle of the first bra 50 a and the second bra 50 b does not limit the disclosure. That is, provided that the storage length of the first accommodation space 210 is constant, the separation height H5 of the separator 211 may be lowered to 45% of the support height H54 to make the first bra 50 a and the second bra 50 b be displayed in the accommodation space 210 at a display angle less than 45 degrees (as shown in FIG. 5E). In contrast, the separation height H5 of the separator 211 may be increased to 60% of the support height H54 and the storage length of the first accommodation space 210 is gradually reduced to make the first bra 50 a and the second bra 50 b be displayed at the angle about 50 degrees. This way, the shortest storage length of the first accommodation space 210 can be found and the maximum number of the first accommodation spaces 210 can be disposed in the storage box 5 (as shown in FIG. 5F). For example, the support height of the bra 50 a is 110 millimeters and the optimized separation height is 66 millimeters.

Users may further increase the separation height H5 to

$\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}$

of the support height H54 and expand or reduce the storage length of the first accommodation space 210 to make the first bra 50 a and the second bra 50 b be disposed in the first accommodation space 210 vertically (as shown in FIG. 5G). Thereby, the first bra 50 a and the second bra 50 b are disposed between the separators 211 so that they are placed straight. As a result, the arrangement of the first bra 50 a and the second bra 50 b are tidy but it should be noted that the storage length of the first accommodation space, in this case, is not minimized.

Additionally, the height of the storage box 5 is not less than the height H5 of the separator 211 of each first accommodation space 210. The height of the storage box 5 may be equal to the support height H54 (for instance, in a range form 79 millimeters to 110 millimeters), but the disclosure is not limited thereto. In one embodiment, the height of the storage box 5 may be greater than the shoulder strap height H56 (e.g. in a range from 130 millimeters to 175 millimeters). The height of the storage box 5, however, does not limit the disclosure.

The storage box 5 may further comprise a plurality of second accommodation spaces 400 for facilitating the storage process. The users may store women's underpants in them, for example.

Furthermore, in one embodiment, a plurality of slots is disposed in the storage box and the separators are designed as detachable components. These separators can be plugged in any of the slots for dividing the storage box into multiple accommodation spaces for storing the bras. Detailed information will be illustrated in the sixth embodiment.

The connecting member 53 comprises two breast carrying portions 51 and two elastic support members 54. The elastic support members 54 are disposed on the lower edges of the two breast carrying portions 51 respectively. The thickness of the at least one bra 50 is the vertical distance from the top of the two breast carrying portions 51 to the plane on which the two elastic support members 54 are located. A shoulder strap height H56 between the bottom of the at least one bra 50 to the two shoulder straps 56 is defined. A support height H54 from the bottom of the connecting member 53 to the top of the elastic support member 54 is defined. A support width L54 between the farthest two ends of the two elastic support members 54 is defined. The two sides of each breast carrying portion 51 have a protruding surface 51 a and a recessed surface 51 b respectively. The two protruding surfaces 51 a respectively correspond to the two recessed surfaces 51 b, and the at least one separator 601 is located between each first accommodation space 600. Specifically, each first accommodation space 600 has a first width W6. The first width W6 is not less than a folding length which is the length of the two back straps 55 and the two shoulder straps 56 folded in the connecting member 53 behind the corresponding recessed surface 51 b of the breast carrying portion 51. The folding length is greater than the support width L54 of the at least one bra 50. The at least one separator 601 has a separation height H6 so that the first bra 50 a and the second bra 50 b are arranged at a display angle and there is no interference between the at least one bra 50 in the two first accommodation spaces 600 on the opposite two sides of the at least one separator 601. According to different specification of bras, the first width H6 is from 260 millimeters to 320 millimeters.

In some embodiments, the separation height H6 of the at least one separator 601 is not less than 45% of the support height H54 of the elastic support member 54. In other embodiments, the separation height H6 may be increased to 60% of the support height of the elastic support member 54. In other embodiments, the separation height H6 of the separator 601 may be equal to

$\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}$

of the support height H54 of the elastic support member 54 (for example, in a range from 56 millimeters to 78 millimeters). The separation height H6, however, may also be greater than

$\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}$

of the support height H54 of the elastic support member 54.

The storage box 6 is integrally formed and the bra 50 is stored in the first accommodation space 600 of the storage box 6. In this embodiment, a first bra 50 a and a second bra 50 b are disposed in the first accommodation 600. As seen in FIG. 6E, the first bra 50 a is placed in a first position 31 at the bottom of one of the first accommodation spaces 600 at a display angle of 45 degrees. The second bra 50 b is placed in a second position 32 at the bottom of one of the first accommodation spaces 600 at a display angle of 45 degrees. The elastic support member 54, the back straps 55 and the shoulder straps 56 of the first bra 50 a abut on the first lateral portion 6011 of the separator 601. Specifically, a first locating member (namely the second bra 50 b) makes one side of the first bra 50 a abut on and be located on the first position 31. A second locating member (namely the arc 6023) makes one side of the second bra 50 b abut on and be located on the second position 32. A first horizontal distance is defined between the first position 31 and the top of the separator 601. A second horizontal distance is defined between the second position 32 and the top of a surrounding block 20 of the storage box 6. The sum of the first horizontal distance, the distance from the first position 31 to the second position 32 and the second horizontal distance is equal to a storage length of the first accommodation space 600. Thereby, the two ends of the first bra 50 a are held to be arranged in the first accommodation space 600 at a display angle of 45 degrees while the two ends of the second bra 50 b are held to be arranged in the first accommodation space 600 at a display angle of 45 degrees. Nevertheless, the display angle of the first bra 50 a and the second bra 50 b does not limit the disclosure. That is, provided that the storage length of the first accommodation space 600 is constant, the separation height H6 of the separator 601 may be lowered to 45% of the support height H54 to make the first bra 50 a is displayed in the accommodation space 600 at a display angle less than 45 degrees (as shown in FIG. 6F). Moreover, the separation height H6 of the separator 601 may be increased to 60% of the support height H54 and the storage length of the first accommodation space 600 is gradually reduced to make the first bra 50 a be displayed at the angle about 50 degrees. This way, the shortest storage length of the first accommodation space 600 can be found and the maximum number of the first accommodation spaces 600 can be disposed in the storage box 6 (as shown in FIG. 6G). For example, the support height of the first bra 50 a is 110 millimeters and the optimized separation height H6 is 66 millimeters.

Users may further increase the separation height H6 to

$\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}$

of the support height H54 and expand the storage length of the first accommodation space 600 to make the first bra 50 a be disposed in the first accommodation space 600 vertically (as shown in FIG. 6H). Thereby, the first bra 50 a and the second bra 50 b are disposed between the separators 601 so it is placed straight. As a result, the arrangement of the first bra 50 a and the second bra 50 b is tidy but it should be noted that the storage length of the first accommodation space, in this case, is not minimized.

Additionally, the users may utilize the at least one separator to divide the storage box into the multiple first accommodation spaces for accommodating at least one bra.

Furthermore, the height of the storage box 6 is not less than the height H6 of the separator 601 of each first accommodation space 600. The height of the storage box 6 may be equal to the support height H54 (for instance, in a range form 79 millimeters to 110 millimeters), but the disclosure is not limited thereto. In one embodiment, the height of the storage box 6 may be greater than the shoulder strap height H56 (e.g. in a range from 130 millimeters to 175 millimeters). The height of the storage box 6, however, does not limit the disclosure.

The storage box 6 may further comprise a plurality of second accommodation spaces 400 for facilitating the storage process. The users may store women's underpants in them, for example. Moreover, a carrying member may be disposed on the storage box 6. In this embodiment, the carrying member may be a frame, a drawer or a sliding rail.

Moreover, the storage box may be a drawer made of wood.

In the storage box of the disclosure, the plurality of first accommodation spaces and the separator are disposed in the storage box. The separation height of the separator may make the bra in the first accommodation be displayed at a display angle and the bras on the opposite two sides of the separator in the first accommodation space do not interfere with each other. As a result, the problem of the inconvenience of storage and reaching the bras is considerably improved.

In one embodiment, the first accommodation spaces may have different display angles for bras to facilitate the storage.

In one embodiment, the separation height of the separator may be increased such that the bras are disposed straight between the separators. Thus, the display of the bras is tidy and beautiful.

In one embodiment, the part of the two lateral portions of the first accommodation spaces which correspond to the touch area of the bottom is an arc. This way, dust is less likely to stack up on the arc so it is more convenient for the users to clean the storage box.

In one embodiment, the storage length of the top of the first accommodation spaces is greater than that of the bottom for facilitating the storage.

In one embodiment, the storage box is a drawer made of wood.

In one embodiment, at least one slot and at least one separator are used to divide the storage box, based on requirements, into multiple first accommodation spaces for accommodating bras.

Furthermore, in some embodiments, the storage box further comprises second accommodation space for accommodating cloths such as women's underpants.
